Abstract

Objective: This study was performed to identify the characteristics of the MSX1 gene (locus chromosome 4p16) in Korean nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate (CL/P), which is assumed to be a major candidate gene acting as a causal factor in nonsyndromic CL/P and missing teeth. Methods: The 36 individuals (23 males and 13 females) who had visited the department of orthodontics at from 1998 to 2002 and who had nonsyndromic CL/P were included in the study. Using a PCR-based assay, the MSX1 gene was amplified, sequenced, and searched for inferred protein products (Reference: Homo sapiens MSX1, accession number AF426432 and NP_002439). The common single nucleotide polymorph isms were observed. Results: In exon 1, nucleotide "A" of the 253 basepair (bp) region was substituted for "G", and in the 255 bp region, nucleotide "G" was inserted. In exon 2, nucleotide "C" of the 11 bp region was substituted for "A", and "T" or "G" was inserted into the 351 bp region whereas "T" or "A" was inserted into the 352 bp region. In protein analysis, "Thr85Ala" missense mutation was found. The "Thr85Ala" missense mutation in this study is different from those of studies using subjects of other races. Conclusions: The results suggest that there is specific mutation of MSX1 in Korean and it plays an important role in Korean nonsyndromic CL/P. However, any distinct genetic polymorphisms between CL/P with missing teeth in the cleft region and CL/P without missing teeth could not be found.

이 연구는 한국인 비증후군성 구순구개열자에서 구순구개열과 치아결손의 중요한 원인 중 하나로 의심되는 MSX1 유전자(locus chromosome 4p16)의 특성을 밝히기 위해 시행되었다. 1998년부터 2002년까지 부산대학교병원 치과교정과에 내원한 36명(남자:23, 여자:13)의 비증후군성 구순수 개열자를 대상으로 하였다. 모든 대상의 혈액을 채취하여 중합 효소연쇄반응(polymerase chain reaction)에 기초한 유전자 분석을 시행하여, MSX1 유전자를 증폭하고, 염기서열을 분석하였으며, 추론되는 단백질 생성물에 대해서도 연구하였다. 이미 밝혀진 Homo sapiens MSX1, accession number AF426432와 NP_002439를 참고로 하여 비교 분석한 결과 공통적인 단일 염기 다형성이 존재하였다. exon 1에서, 253번째 부위의 염기 "A"가 "G"로 치환되었고, 255번째 부위에서 염기 "G"가 삽입되었다. exon 2에서 11번째 부위에서 염기"C"가 "A"로 치환되었고, 351부위에서 염기"T" 또는 "G"가 삽입되었고 352부위에서 염기"T" 또는 "A"가 삽입되었다. 한국인 비증후군성 구순구개열자에서 다른 인종에서 발견된 돌연변이와는 다른 "Thr85A1a" missense 돌연변이가 발견되었다. 이는 한국인 비증후군성 구순구개열에서도 MSX1 유전자가 중요한 원인이 될 수 있고 한국인의 독특한 돌연변이가 존재한다는 가능성을 제시한 것이다. 그러나, 구개열 부위의 치아결손과 관련해서는 어떠한 유전자 특징도 관찰되지 않았다.
